#44 Women escape to the county
05/31/25 • 35 min
In which, Sue, Jules and Brian are joined by guests Lin Martin, Rod Cole and Mike Turner to talk about the return in the UK of women's cricket to Professional County Clubs rather than regional franchises.
The discussion pondered the issue of 'to travel or not to travel', celebrated scorers getting medals at the recent Women's County Cup Final and discovered the 'romance of cricket'.
As usual the conversation diverged into batters being Timed Out, Double Retirements, both batters with runners, super overs, 10 Retired Outs on one scorecard and stress for scorers of a close finish and posed the question 'Are women faster than men?'.
